Charles University has five faculties of medicine across Prague, Plzeň, and Hradec Králové, which faculty should English-program students choose and why?

Each of Charles University’s five medical faculties operates somewhat independently with its own clinical affiliations and culture. This thread helps prospective students understand the differences between the faculties and which one tends to offer the best experience for international students studying in English.

Ok so I’m applying to Charles and I just found out there’s like FIVE different medical faculties and they all seem Kinda separate?? like 1st faculty in Prague, 2nd faculty in Prague, 3rd faculty in Prague, then Plzen and Hradec Kralove. nobody told me this when I was googling “Charles University medicine” lol. for someone doing the English program, does it matter which one I pick, or are they all basically the same just in different buildings? trying to figure out where to even start
